On a flatbed train car, under the latticed arches designed by Gustave Eiffel, Ghorwane, a local band that have been fusing African rhythms with politics since the early '80s, are shaking up a cocktail of sweaty fans. It's buzzing, but it's not full - not everybody in Mozambique's capital can afford the $6 door fee at Sr Mfumo Jazz Bar (formerly Chez Rangel). Most people still get by on just $40 a month...

...What?s more, Boeing, which had been considered the front-runner for the new contract, has hardly distinguished itself in space of late. It is the prime contractor for the incomplete and largely useless International Space Station, a project that was originally envisioned as a lean, $8 billion operation and is now projected to cost a cool $100 billion. That?s by no means all Boeing?s fault, but nor is it to the company?s credit...
